Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty made a huge hit out of Chennai Express, but their next joint venture, Dilwale, could not repeat the same box-office success. There have been rumors since then that there is a falling out between the actor and the director. But now Rohit Shetty has silenced these rumors.
In an open discussion with Komal Nahta on the podcast Game Changers, Rohit ruled out any rift with SRK outright. "Nahi aisa kuch nahi," he said, laying to rest any rumors of bad blood between them.
Rohit continued, "Ek respect hai humare beech me aur Dilwale ke baad ye hua ki immediately phir humne humare khud ki production house kholi. Humne decide kiya ki hum khud ki filmein banayenge. Agar loss bhi ho to humara ho, jabki loss nahi hua tha."
He went on further to explain that even though Dilwale flopped in India, it did phenomenally overseas. To set things into context, the film was made by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan under their imprint, Red Chillies Entertainment.
Rohit also gave some candid insights into his close friendships in the industry. He opened up about his close relationship with Ajay Devgn, whom he considers an elder brother, and spoke about developing a friendship with actors such as Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. He appreciated Deepika's dedication, remembering that she shot the last schedule of Singham Again while four months pregnant. "Relations like these are seldom created," he added.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is all set for his next film King, where he will be starring alongside his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. Directed by Siddharth Anand, it also features Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma in key roles.
And regarding Rohit Shetty, he is busy filming Singham Again, the continuation of his cop universe, that boasts a formidable ensemble cast.
